Red Mansions: No Tears

The ancients said: It is best to rely on the mountains and mountains, to rely on everyone to grow old, and to rely on oneself. This sentence is not false at all. Lin Daiyu sometimes thinks that if Lin Daiyu in the original book can be a little more up-to-date, don’t just regard Jia Baoyu as her only one. If you can find a way to marry yourself safely before Jia's mother dies, maybe there will be no such thing as an early death. As for repaying your favor with tears?Heh~ I want to be the envoy of Shenying to irrigate the crimson bead fairy grass with the water of the Linghe River, but it seems that I didn't take my life to irrigate it, right?Fairy Jiangzhu went down to earth to repay her kindness, and she only said that she would pay him back all the tears in her life, and she didn't say that she would pay him back with her life!Why did he have to lose his life? !

It's just that how many tears should a person have in a lifetime, who in this world can say that he is ugly?Not to mention that although she has penetrated into Lin Daiyu's body and replaced Lin Daiyu's identity, she is no longer the original Jiangzhu Fairy. Naturally, she doesn't need to shed tears for Jiangzhu Fairy, so she wants to cry when she sees fake Baoyu. It is impossible for her to happen again from now on, so why should she think about what is there?Of course it is not necessary! !

After Lin Daiyu figured out this key point, her shoulders suddenly felt much lighter. You must know that what she was most worried about at the beginning was whether she would have to repay the favor of irrigation for the original owner because she became Lin Daiyu. If so, Doesn't she still have to get involved with that phoenix egg?In ancient society, women's reputation was the most important thing. She can't guarantee that she will be so lucky to meet a man with a clear mind. To be honest...she really can't think of anyone in Dream of the Red Chamber who is clear-headed, but now It seems that she is really overthinking... The matter between Fairy Jiangzhu and the envoy of Shenying is just a 'private matter' between the two of them. What does it have to do with her, a third party who accidentally traveled over here?

If it is said that because she occupied the original owner's body and identity, she must perform a filial piety in front of Lin Ruhai for her, this cause and effect, Lin Daiyu can still take it for granted, even if she is required to go to Rongguo Duke's Mansion in the future to act as a human being on behalf of Jia Min and the original owner She also thinks there is nothing wrong with the younger generation's wishes, but that's all. As for the others?Then I'm sorry, the life other than those mentioned above is still her own life, and has nothing to do with anyone's previous life.

When Jia Lian returned to Lin's house today, he was not surprised to hear that the aunt of the Lin family who had been upgraded to admirable in his heart kept someone at home as a guest, uh...I heard that his surname was also Jiang?Is he the elder brother of that kid from the Jiang family? !There is also an old man! !

Jia Lian's whole body is not well~~ Could it be that Mrs. Lin has decided to recruit that kid from the Jiang family as his son-in-law?Otherwise, why even the elders of the other party were invited to the house? !But when chatting with Master Lin that day, he didn't reveal that meaning?Is it just to lie to him?

After Jia Lian thought it over, he decided to talk to Lin Ruhai about Sister Lin's destiny in life. After all, the Lin family is also a generation of princes. How embarrassing it is to have a son-in-law for nothing? !And the old lady wrote again asking about Baoyu and Sister Lin's marriage, so he has to give an explanation, right?

Jia Lian stayed in the mansion again that day, and didn't go to Lin Ruhai's yard until near noon. He thought that at this time, the few from Jiang's family would not be there, but as soon as he entered the door, several pairs of eyes appeared at the same time. Looking at him, he was startled secretly, he paused for a while, then walked into the room again with his head held high.

"Master Lin is well." Jia Lian pretended to greet Lin Ruhai calmly with a few sharp edges, and then looked at everyone in confusion.

"Brother Lian hasn't met Elder Yan and Brother Xuan, has he?" Lin Ruhai said with a smile when he saw Jia Lian looking at the others.

"You two are well. I don't know where you two came from? I heard that you have been staying in the mansion for a few days, and Mrs. Lin has not recovered from his illness. It seems that it is not very good to bother to greet you two? Look, my lords. I am also a scholar, don't you even understand this point? What is the big deal that you have to choose to disturb the master's house when it is inconvenient?" Jia Lian ignored Lin Ruhai as the master's house, and asked Yan Lao and the Jiang family very dissatisfied. Three brothers.

"Brother Lian, don't be rude. I forgot to tell you last time that the second old lady of Jiang's family is the daughter of the Lin family. It stands to reason that Yu'er wants to call Brother Ke and Brother Xuan cousins. Mr. Yan It's also the doctor that Brother Xuan and the others invited to treat me." Lin Ruhai's voice was a little cold, and there was a hint of displeasure in his tone.

"What cousin? Who knows if it's true or not? Mrs. Lin, my nephew understands that you are worried about Sister Lin's future affairs, but you shouldn't make hasty decisions on some important matters, especially about Sister Lin's life. Madam has always hoped to make a pair of two jades, if you insist on going your own way, the old lady will be very sad." Jia Lian felt that Lin Ruhai was really trying to deceive him, and he had never heard of any relatives in the Lin family, so why did he suddenly Two cousins ​​who are out of reach?

"What nonsense are you talking about?! Can this kind of thing be said in front of the guests? I don't even know what it means!" Lin Ruhai frowned and scolded in a deep voice.

"My nephew kindly reminded Master Lin that even if you want sister Lin to recruit a son-in-law, have you ever wondered whether the Lin family in Gusu will agree? Sister Lin is still young, and it will have to wait until she officially gets married. A few years, can you guarantee that the other party will not have other thoughts in these few years? The old lady said that Baoyu and sister Lin are about the same age. One or two, it's naturally better than those who don't know the basics, isn't it?" Jia Lian squinted at Jiang Ke and replied pointedly.

"Who is spreading rumors and causing trouble!? When did I say I was going to recruit a husband for Yu'er? I obviously only mentioned that I wanted to adopt a stepchild... That's all! My Lin family's affairs are taken care of by my Lin family, and you don't need to tell me what to do. If you have nothing else to do, you can go out first." Lin Ruhai waved at Jia Lian with a bad face, as if chasing someone away.

"What?! Adoption?! That's not going to work either! The old lady definitely doesn't want to..." Jia Lian said a few words hurriedly, but was immediately interrupted by Lin Ruhai: "Could it be that Brother Lian wants me to take back the days before?" What did you say?"

"Dang, of course not... nephew, nephew..." Jia Lian quickly shrank his neck. He didn't want to annoy Mrs. Lin, but he was worried that when he returned to the capital, if the old lady knew that he had messed up Baoyu's marriage, she wouldn't Know how to scold him.

"Lord Lin calm down, your body can't bear your emotional ups and downs. I remember Mrs. Lin's maiden name seems to be Jia? Oh! It's the Rongguo Duke's Mansion in the capital, right? Master, it must be the Jia family? Speaking of which, Mr. Xianrong also had some contacts with me when he was alive, so I have heard a little about the situation in the mansion. Unfortunately, I haven't been in the capital for a long time, so I don't know. Today's Duke Rong's mansion is still not what I used to know, and I've heard that Mrs. Rong Guo has always favored the younger son the most. Whenever she goes out to meet with those wives, she always complains about her eldest son in front of others. He is an idiot who cannot be supported, but everyone knows that the eldest son of the Duke of Xianrong was raised under the wife of the Duke of Xianrong since he was a child. Some people are constantly ruining his son's reputation outside, but I think Mr. Rong has the support of Mr. Rong before him, and he has inherited the title. That's what you said?" Yan Lao smiled all over his face, seemingly understating, but actually said sarcastically.

"Master just idles around all day long, obsessed with antiques, when did he get involved with the court? Yan...I'm afraid I remember wrongly? Now the only ones who really have official positions in our Rongguo Duke's mansion are the master and me." Jia Lian said this. When speaking, I couldn't help raising my head and chest, with a hint of pride.

"Oh? So the eldest son of Mr. Rong is your uncle?" Mr. Yan thought he understood and nodded.

"No, it's not...the elder is my father." Jia Lian couldn't help lowering her head guiltily when she heard the words, and an unknown feeling flashed in her heart.

"That's weird, it's your father, why do you call him 'Master' instead of 'Master'? Are the rules in the capital different from before?" Elder Yan asked again with a puzzled look on his face. One sentence.

"That's...that's...." Jia Lian was stunned, yes! ?Why does everyone in the house call my father the grand master and my second uncle the master?Shouldn't it be the second master?Is it because they are no longer living in the Rongguo mansion?But... isn't the father the one who inherits the title?Why didn't he live in Rongguo's mansion?What is wrong?No matter how he thinks about it, it seems that there is a feeling of incongruity?

"Old Yan doesn't understand. Their house may follow the southern rules. Take our Jiang family as an example. When my great-grandfather and great-grandmother were still alive, my grandfather's family lived in the yard closest to the main courtyard. At that time, my great-grandfather's aunt always complained that the courtyard should be lived by the third uncle. After all, the third uncle was the son of the great-grandfather. In this way, the older sons will live separately first, leaving only the youngest son to be filial by his side, and the eldest son will officially take over the family business after the elder passes away." Jiang Xuan said this kindly for everyone Jiangnan customs.

It's a pity that Lin Daiyu was not present at this time, otherwise she would really sigh: Can Jia Zheng's behavior of stealing the Rongxi Hall be justified by such rhetoric?What an eye opener! !Dare to feel that people in the future have criticized this matter for so many years, and they have been wronged?

"I did hear some people say about this kind of custom, but I don't know that Jia's family has been in Beijing for many years, and they still keep this kind of custom." Lin Ruhai raised his eyebrows, seemingly in agreement.

"Master Lin doesn't know. On weekdays, the old lady always likes to mention the grand occasion of the Jia family in Jinling, and the ancestral house in Jinling is still there. Every once in a while, the family members of the ancestral house come to Beijing to report. She misses the past and will insist on it." It is conceivable to abide by this kind of rules." Jia Lian silently wiped the invisible sweat from his forehead, then laughed.

Jiang Ke watched his elder brother and Yan Lao suffer a lot from Jia Lian one after the other, and couldn't help laughing to himself. He wanted you to talk nonsense, ruin Miss Lin's reputation, and wanted to make Jia Lian who didn't know how to improve Baoyu and Miss Lin are together, so they don't even know what kind of guy that guy is?

Yes, at any rate, several months have passed, and Jiang Ke has also found out what kind of character Jia Baoyu, who the Jia family kept saying is the future hope of the Jia family, is like. I heard that he looks down on those who study the Four Books and Five Classics as hard as he does, and only want to be an official. I don't know if those who are in business are also scoffed at by him?He thought about it for a long time, but he really couldn't imagine how long an uncommon person like Jia Baoyu would live if he lost the protection of the plaque in the Rongguo Mansion one day? ?
